You ultimately need to check your thyroid levels more often. What happened was you were on too big of a dose of thyroid medication which caused you to go from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism. You should consult your Doctor Who prescribed the thyroid medication to get your levels drawn. You will need to go on to a lower dose of thyroid replacement. I would not adjust your thyroid medication until you have your thyroid drawn and checked.
